Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Tree13]

Allan is not good, he is very poor.

Allan is currently the only healthy midfielder we have who is worth a start in the prem. In a 3-man midfield, with someone sitting behind him and Doucoure to shield the back 4, he'd work well... like he did in the first half of the season under Ancelotti. He's fading due to age, sure... but any system using a 2-man midfield neuters him.

We currently need two CMs. If you bin off Allan, we need three.

I've no idea why we aren't in for Jason Knight from Derby. There's no way he'd cost that much as the administrators just want money now.

Yep, absolute head-scratcher. At this point, he'd start in our next match.

I still think, however unrealistic it may be, we should refuse to do business with any of the "S00PER LEEG" clubs. No buying from them, no selling to them. Let them rot.

I don't think they'll rot. And I don't think they'll care.

Once again, for the hard of hearing: We need central midfielders.

Lingard is not a central midfielder. Even if he IS an upgrade on Richarlison (he isn't), Gray (he isn't) Townsend (WHU Lingard? Yes. Vast majority of his career Lingard? Don't be absurd) or Gordon (don't we want Gordon to get minutes in order to develop?), how is signing / loaning him going to help us?

We're getting overrun in midfield, every single game. 2-man midfield, 3-man midfield, 433, 442, 4231 it doesn't matter... Lingard doesn't make a shred of difference to that scenario... because he doesn't play in central midfield. He's a wide attacker / part-time 10.

The suggestions of loaning Alli or Lingard are the type of panicky shouts that can only be coming from people who thought the transfers of Tosun and Walcott were great moves at the time, and panned out well.

Don’t agree sorry ?

We need a midfielder or two with mobility regardless of who the manager is

 

[billyblue80]

What on earth is going on? We are being linked with Lingard, Deli Ali, and Ndombele but we desperately need a defensive midfielder. Allan is good but lacks pace and stamina so that he is running on empty after 70 minutes, Tom Davies looks as though he could be out for the season, Doucoure is a box to box midfielder but is also now injured and Gomes simply cannot tackle. This surely is the top priority in terms of any transfer at the moment, not a creative player. We are conceding goals in every game and if we are to stay up we need to become more defensively solid. This really is extremely worrying in terms of relegation if we don't address this problem.

Agree truth is though we need both a box to box player with energy and some creativity in midfield

So we can’t decide on a manager. Because we can’t decide on a manager, no player will want to sign here. Because no player will want to sign here, whoever the new manager is is going to have the worst midfield in the league. Because they’ll have the worst midfield in the league we’ll be lucky to stay up. Get your thumb out Everton.

4 days and counting.

1st we need a manager & DOF.

Tick tock. Tick tock.

So Rondon is now our only backup if DCL goes down injured? Good game time for Simms but we are THIN up there.

Thin.....with Rondon?

Newcastle signing ballers whilst we wasted millions on the Bolasies, Gomes & Toshuns of the world.

Cheers Walsh/Brands you idiots.

They’ve not signed him yet, least not to Lyon’s knowledge

They’ve also signed a journeyman in Chris Wood and Trippier as well as being knocked back for Diego Carlos and Robin Gosens so excuse me for not crapping my kecks at their pulling power

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Well who can really blame him.

He any good

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Very highly rated young player, not quite happened yet for him at Juve but still very young. Would've been a good loan signing.

Thats too bad. Would’ve been an excellent addition. Don’t blame him at all though.
